ALUMNI The Evening Citizen.

The Editor : Ottawa, Ontario, Please change my address from Queens Uni-

versity to the above. I lectured in history at Queen’s for three sessions after leaving the K.C.A.F., but am now on the editorial staff of The Evening Citizen.

I note with some puzzlement that you refer to me as a “nuw-famous alumnus.” Well, I have perhaps one claim to distinction-I’m probably the only person in the country to have been defeated in Federal elections on both coasts, having been CCF candidate in Nanaimo (1940) and Yarmouth (1945). RONALD GRANTHAM, ‘31.

West Vancouver, B.C. The Edi tor :

May I reply to a few points in Dr. Pyle’s letter in the October number?

He says that a man would “feel literally foolish or stupid” not to accept a large American salary instead of a small Canadian one. To be literally stupid is to be in a stupor and devoid of feeling, and therefore to feel literally stupid is impossible. This is not a mere quibble. I t indicates that Dr. I’yle’s logic can be as fuzzy as a Canadian’s. A lot of highly intelligent Canadians feel anything but silly about accepting certain challenges that Dr. Pyle rejects. If I may so express myself, they do not feel at all corny to refuse the alien corn.

He says that money is not everything and then talks as if it. were. He says that a man’s value is indicated by his salary. H e implies that one dollar will buy the same things in the States that it will buy here. Actually; of course, there are only a very few standard values in this world and not one of them has the faintest connection with cash. Even the price of Dr. Pyle himself must vary from town to town, from company to company, and from boss to boss throughout the U S A .

He says that promotion is faster in the States, and that younger and younger men get bigger and bigger jobs. This may well be true, but is this exclusively American? And does Dr. Pyle prpose to take smaller and smaller jobs as he gets older? And at what age will he decide that there really isn’t so much in this theory that men grow stupider as they mature? At 40 or 45 he will be depressed and not exhilerated by such a system. He says he speaks from his own experience. But surely ac- cording to his theory, the more experience a man has the less he knows ?

He says there is no opportunity in B.C. to do big things in a big way. But the greater the difficulty, the bigger the deed. You are hardly doing big things in a big way if somebody else is creating the openiiygs for you. I t seems to me that a lot of graduates hint that they will return to B.C. when those who have stayed home have done the spatfe- work. I am not the keeper of their consciences. I’d merely like to bat a few of their arguments hack at thml. Yours faithfully,

LETTERS Dear Editor:

I lvish to thank you very much for your thought- fulness in sending me the copy of the Chronicle containing the tribute to my husband. It pleased me very much indeed, and seemed to exact1:y right.

Yours very sincerely, F L O R E N C E T. SCHOF‘LELD.

COMMENT Sir Charles Sherrington, O.N., F.R.S., ce!ebratecl

his 90th birthday Nov. 27. H e was Dr. 1Vesl)rook’s classmate i n medicine at Cambridge and he harbor- ed most of U.B.Cl.’s library acquisitions from Europe in his Laboratory of Physiology at Oxford ‘during \\‘orld IVar I . t I c . added one or txvo prixe items when they came out U.B.C. when shippin, was safe. In 1038 he sent out as a memorial to Dr. IVestbrook one of the oldest Drinted books. the “Elegentia” of Laurentius Valia, 1476.

The Edi tor : Still vigorous mentally, Sir Charles has recently On behalf of the Pre-Medical Underg-aduate finished a remarkable life of Jean Fernel, the great

Society, I would like to thank YOU for your excellent early 12renc11 Scholar, the first physiologist and resume of the Medical School situation as it exists pathologist. today. I believe your editorial strikes at the root of the problem: the feeling that there is dissention where there should be unity, apathy wher’e there should be enthusiastic, cons6ruci-ive action. In that respect I agree with you.

However to make as general a statement as “. . . irresponsible apathy on the part of undergraduates of U.B.C. . . .” is to go too far \vithout basis for fact. The record will show that the undergraduates have been in the front rank of active supporters of what we have believed, and believe now, to be a far-sighted, workable policy: that of building a medical school and a teaching hospital on the campus. If any apathy has been displayed by our members individually, its source must be the contagion spread by a seemingly disinterested government, and our helplessness in the face of misinterpretation of the University’s and our own program by almost all publicity sources.

Permit me to make one fact clear with respect to our policy. We, too, believe that “. . . the start’s the thing . . .”, but the start we mean is the be- ginning of a long-range, sound plan. Inevitably, such planning must include government actioa of the most positive kind.

It is quite conceivable that two years of medicine could be taught on the campus in a modest way. But the government must guarantee that the capi- tal and maintenance funds needed to 0peraf.e four full years of a Grade A Medical School will be made available when required.

W e do not subscribe to the much publicized idea that the government has spoken, and that the University authorities must now make their tle- cision. We, as a body, feel that the Univcrsity’s policy, unchanged since last winter’s unequivocal stand for a Grade A Medical School on the campus, is still valid and needs no further amplification. Tt does need further publicity and a firm restate- ment, for which the initiative is the responsibility of the University authorities, but i t requires n o ammendment.

We firmly believe that this policy is right. More. i f this policy receives the support it so richl!. \varrants therc is reason to expect that a n early start 011 medical education could be made.

A workable solution to the medical school pruh- lem has been &fore the cabinet for almost at year. Let the cabinet act on it.

Yours very sincerely, JACK FAGHIN, President, Pre-bled. Undergraduate SOC.

Dr. U'illiam Gibson, Arts '33, 011e of Citnada's outstanding young neuropathologists. will leave for LA~~stralia early next year to take a chair in Neur- ology at the University of Sydney.

Behind this simple announcement is an amazing story of a young medical researcher \vho has travel- led all over the world in search of medical knowledge. Hut to hear him tell of it, it all ha:ppenetl I)ecause Britain went off the gold standard in 1931.

Rill Gibson was freshly over from Victoria College in 1931 still i n the Commerce Faculty ant1 ;L little unsettled hecause he had a hankering for Aleclicine. The yearning for medicine was develop- ing, but he needed a shove to get him into it.

zia SENATE ELECTIONS

Senate elections \vi11 Ile held i n the near future. the exact (late to be determined by the Senate \\.hich \vi11 meet for this reason i n December.

Fifteen of the nearly forty nzetnbers o f :Senate will be elected from nominees of that ne’l)ulot1s group kno\vn as Convocation antl they will I ) ? elected by the votes of the members o f convocatioll.

This is our representation 011 the Uni\:rrsit!- Senate.

In years past we have had excellent representation 011 Senate, \vith some of the most il1u:;trious names in the Uui\-ersity’s history bringing to the Senate the vieLvpoint of the graduates. As far as the individual meml)ers o f Senate representing convocation are concerned. there is a1)solutely no criticism, antl, on the contrary, o n l y the highest o f praise.

Unfortunately, however. because o f the .Ipathjr o r disinterest o f the men1lm-s o f convomcation. very few nv\v nominations h a v e I)een ~nat le 1 ) ~ . graduates ?very threts !’ears \vhcn the Senate elections come :trountl.

The result has bee11 that the fifteen convocatiou members o f Senate have tended to perpetuatt then- selves. 1:1Irthermore, these men1l)ers have 11c.en i n th majority of the teaching profession a n t 1 :IS that profession has adequate representation in the fact that Senate is largely composed of the variou?, heads o f nearly every acatlen1.ic group in B. C. anyway, there is a grave lack of proper representation on that body.

For instance, out of roughly forty men1l)crs of Senate, only about eleven of them are not directly concerned with teaching.

As mentioned above this is no cricitism of those menlbers of Senate who are teachers. They recog- nized the problem ahead of auyone antl they are anxious to right the situation.

Another difficulty lies in the fact that practically all members of Senate are from Vancouver or the near vicinity. At the last elections three years ago. Dr. C. A. I I . Wright of Trail by his election. became the first member of Senate who was both from nut of Vancou\-er and not of the teaching profession.

In recent years so few nominations have come in from the members of convocation that on occasion all fifteen convocation memlxrs of Set1at.e have been elected by acclamation and in some ca:;es the Registrar has neglected even to send out the list of nominations.

One obvious correction is needed. As it stands the Dean of Women is not automatically given a place on Senate and practice has heen for her to be elected as one of convocation’s representatives. The Dean of Women is entitled to ;L place on Senate other than by election and if she were, that would leave another nomination open to a member of cow vocation who was not connected with education.

The fault lies oljviously with nlembers of convocation xvho have not Iwen interested cnough to

EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS

-~

IZt. Hon. T’incent LIassey n.hile being installed as Chancellor o f t.he University of Toronto recently sounded a w;trning that should be heeded by all universities i n Canada.

Speaking at a special convocation at Toronto, Chancellor Al:t,<sty criticized the ‘‘curse of Iligness” and the “ovcr-emphasis of vocational courses,” which he tern1c:tl were two of the outstantlilg as- pects of the nlcdern university.

Chancellor IZJ assey said, “If nlCJderI1 democracy is to be \vel1 >cr\-ed, the education of future Icaders should surely Ilot be impaired by the presence with- i n a univerhit). of those who are not intellectually qualified for it:; privileges, and whose very numbers make it irnpossil,le for others to receive the ;:ltten- tion they cleserve.”

His remarks are timely in the light o f ccmtlitions in Canadian Ilniversities since 1914. Iununtlated with a flood of students from the ranks of discharged war veterans, most Canadian universities only vaguelj- resemble their pre-war selves.

In the efiort to do the “right thing for the I~oys,” the universities have exposed themselves to a great danger of getting a u x y from the traditions of higher educational teaching and many classes are attended ant1 lectured in much the same fashion as battle training classes in the navy. nrnly and air force.

’rhe c.mljhasis is on “spec(l” :tnd “getting through” \Titi1 the result that examination .marks are tleceivilIgly high bltt the al,sorl)tion o f I .< I IOW- ledge is lnw.

Because of Meryle's success i n the Bay's fashion shows a number of other University students got a Ixeak there, too.

Quite a transformation took place every afternoon when the college girls in l)ol)l)y sox, skirt and slveater turned into a sophisticated commentator with upswept hairdo.

I also had the privilege o f meeting with groups in I’ort- Inncl, Sa11 P‘rancisco and Los Angeles and I must say that I obtained a new appreciation of Alumni work from meeting with these people so far away from home and so enthusiastic ahout their parent uni\-ersity.

I should like to pay tribute to the \ .cry fine work clone by the “Graduate Chronicle” ably edited by Ormontle J. Hall.

Other things were made fun of besides the $25 hue, of course. There were a good many irreverent ditties about various professors.

P q e 30 THE GRADUATE CHRONICLE

Y S P O R T Y

+By BILL DUNFORD ------- As altvays, there were many tales of athletic

tlerring-do-some of it garhletl. much ( ~ f it emhel- lishetl--\\hen the Grads got to talking over the g~~o t l o l d (lays during Homecoming at British Cc~lun1l)in.

This always happens. 13y the time the l:latls get around t o telling junior al)out their athletic days, scratch singles hecome game-ninning horneruns, and quarterback sneaks ficltl long tonchdo\vn runs i n thr final minutes.

However, over the past 20 years that 1 recall thc. local sporting scene there have heen many campus teams, individual athletes or particular feats that stand out. Just ask any grad, fau or sport.; scribe what he rates as top in past performances and you not only start an interesting conversation but rake over a lot of memories.

T o most people who have been close to the local and University scene, the late Howie McPhee’s 10.5- yard rugby run against Vancouver Reps is the memory standout.

I can still see that track and rugger great stantl- ing by the goal post as Vancouver attacked. Sud- denly he lunged and intercepted a pass, swerved antl was off for that line a fieltl-length away. No one laid a hand on him antl only Referee Malcoltn Lange kept any\vhere near h i m i n that brilliant burst.

A popular second choice for exciting moment> was that “desperation” heave o f Art Willoughby’s in the Dominion final series against IJTintlsor Fords. The easterners \Yere leading by a 1)oint when Art let one fly. The final gun sounded \\hen the I n l l was i n the air, antl the scorc changed from a one- point loss into a one-point win when the shot plunked home.

The late Leo Nicholson, the “voice of sport,” rated that moment as the most exciting in his long and varied career a s n radio announcer.

For laughs, there \vas the famous trardy Cup game played i n the fog, \\here reporters anti. oppos- ing quarterbacks could sneak into huddles lrith im- punity. And I recall escorting fllllba.ck E(1 Kendle’s girl out to see him on the field after hall time, antl the game startetl-or at least we heart1 the “plnnk’‘ o f the kickoff.

C)r the 1 9 3 1 game when Varsity stopped Mani- tolxl 4-3 on a 1 1 Athletic Park pitch that was so muddy that I l ( J t only were the playc?rs impossible to tell apart. but the ball actually disal)peared into the goo on one p h y .

It wasn’t . 4 o funny to the central figure in this story. Kanji RIattu, who gained fame this year as mentor of thr. 13lue Bombers, the first IVestern Jun- ior Foot1)all clmnpions from this sector, picked up a loose ball i n a rugby game at Rrockton and pow- ered for the line. The opposition didn’t stop him hut the goal post did. He split the upright \vith his head and n.oke up sometime Sunday asking the score.

Back in ’31, too, Varsity won their first national basketball title. They were eight points down at half time in the second game of the txvo-game, total- point series and Arnold Henderson had spent the half-time interval practising free shots.

But a young kid who had come up from Inter- mediate cranks that season, stepped in to spark the drive that defeated St. Catharines. His name was Tony Osborne.

The firehouse gang of ’41 that blazed to a Dom- inion crown i n straight games, was another fine crexv. Pat 1:Iynn and Doug Pedlow never came back from the wars to carry on their promising car- eers on the Inaple courts. Art Willoughby antl Ceorge Pringk are missing from the ’37 champions, too.

Men like George Pringle, a real team man, and stars like Tom Williams, Johnny Pearson, Johnny Bird, Jim I3nrtlsley, Howie Cleveland, Oliver Cam- ozzi-they’ll l)e remembered in the sport hashover.

British Columbia is young as colleges go; but the hot stove league still has plent?. of fuel for talk- fests when somt‘one starts “Remember when . . .?”

L41though Dr. Gibson is happy at being given the ol)portunity of working in the new Medical Centre at Sydney, he still yearns to return to the LTnivt’rsity of Eritish ColurnI,ia antl is one of the strongest advocates for a Aledical School on the L‘ni\-crsity campus. H e consitlers his ace in the hole \vas his U.U.C. training Ivhich, despite lack o f Cquipmmt and limited material back in 1930 and 1931, developed some pretty good pioneer methods. The allility to make things do \vas of t he g ra t e s t help to him later.

This brilliant young 1 1 1 a t 1 hopes that the same insistnnce on learning a su1)ject from the ground up will characterize U.B.C.’s medical school \\.hen it develops. There is no University he knoxvs in his wide experience which has U.B.C.’s future and no province which can rival B.C.’s resources.

H e believes that “The extent to which these potential assets are turned into realities depends largely on the guidance and support given U.B.C. by its graduates and friends.”

At last there is no graduate or friend more earnest in his desire to help U.R.C. than 1)r. William Gibson.

Perhaps some day, this young mall, well on his \vay to making himself a world reputation in his chosen field, may come back to U.B.C. to take his place among the mentors o f the great University o f B.C. Medical School of the future, which lies in the hearts of many U.T<.C. graduates.

I remember the fourth and last show particw larly vividly, for various reasons. One of them is the disgraceful costume adopted by the producer. who was also author and leading man. His basic garment was a heavy suit of woollen underclothing, reaching his ankles and wrists. Over this was an enormous corset, suitably padded with a couple o f grapefruit, and from the garters of this corset there dangled an alarm clock, a small hatchet, a Iilly-can, and such things as an enthusiastic Boy Scout might attach to his straining belt. Horril)le enough. but his antics were worse. They remindrtl me of the Royal Nonesuch in Huck Finn. 1Vell. this buffoon's own brother was sitting in the autli- cnce i n a cold sweat and a hot flush. A student next the brother leaned over and said “For the love o f hlanketty hlank Moses, who is that guy ?’ . 4 n d the brother groaned and said “I don’t know. No. I swear I don’t. Honest I don’t.” The shows folded up because the producer left town for some years. He djdn’t leave because of this disloyalty nf his hrother’s, nor from a proper sense of shame.

> , I hat is not a contradictory statement because there is a concurrent tendency to lower examination standards to include in the pass list the average student of a not too bright group and an almost complete neglect of the rnbre brilliant who must take the pace of the average.

Also with every department of the university overLvorketl. its instructors are not at their best. The strain of teaching hig classes, antl more of them, is fatiguing.

There is n o criticism of the University of B. C. Irhich is representative of all Canadian colleges. It has ;I reputation of turning out a high grade calihre o f graduate antl i n the past three years, untler the circumstances, R.C. has done a wonderful antl hon- ourable joh i n accommodating the war veterans.

But next year when conditions return more or less to normal, a start should be made to gear up the university to its pre-war standards and de- emphasize the vocational courses, eliminate all but the worthy students. and turn out graduates who can*THINK, not those \vho have managed to pass a few examinations.

As an outstanding British educationalist puts it, “overcrowded classrooms antl overcrowded curricu- la breed intellectual slun~s.”
